Use of Furnace as Construction Heater
Lennox does not recommend the use of SL280DFV units
as a construction heater during any phase of construction.
Very low return air temperatures, harmful vapors and operation of the unit with clogged or misplaced filters will damage the unit.
SL280DFV units may be used for heating of buildings or
structures under construction, if the following conditions
are met:
D The vent system must be permanently installed per
these installation instructions.
D A room thermostat must control the furnace. The use of
fixed jumpers that will provide continuous heating is not
allowed.
D The return air duct must be provided and sealed to the
furnace.
D Return air temperature range between 60°F (16°C) and
80°F (27°C) must be maintained.
D Air filters must be installed in the system and must be
maintained during construction.
D Air filters must be replaced upon construction comple-
tion.
D The input rate and temperature rise must be set per the
furnace rating plate.
D One hundred percent (100%) outdoor air must be pro-
vided for combustion air requirements during construction. Temporary ducting may supply outdoor air to the
furnace. Do not connect duct directly to the furnace.
Size the temporary duct following these instructions in
section for Combustion, Dilution and Ventilation Air in a
confined space with air from outside.
D The furnace heat exchanger, components, duct system,
air filters and evaporator coils must be thoroughly
cleaned following final construction clean−up.
D All furnace operating conditions (including ignition, in-
put rate, temperature rise and venting) must be verified
according to these installation instructions.
General
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
having jurisdiction before installation.
In addition to the requirements outlined previously, the following general recommendations must be considered
when installing a SL280DFV furnace:
Place the furnace as close to the center of the air dis-
tribution system as possible. The furnace should also be
located close to the chimney or vent termination point.
Do not install the furnace where drafts might blow direct-
ly into it. This could cause improper combustion and unsafe operation.
Do not block the furnace combustion air openings with
clothing, boxes, doors, etc. Air is needed for proper
combustion and safe unit operation.
When the furnace is installed in an attic or other insu-
lated space, keep insulation away from the furnace.
NOTE − The Commonwealth of Massachusetts stipulates these additional requirements:
D Gas furnaces shall be installed by a licensed plumb-
er or fitter only.
Page 5
D The gas cock must be T handle" type.
D When a furnace is installed in an attic, the passage-
way to and service area surrounding the equipment
shall be floored.

Combustion, Dilution & Ventilation Air
In the past, there was no problem in bringing in sufficient outdoor air for combustion. Infiltration provided all the air that
was needed. In today’s homes, tight construction practices
make it necessary to bring in air from outside for combustion. Take into account that exhaust fans, appliance vents,
chimneys, and fireplaces force additional air that could be
used for combustion out of the house. Unless outside air is
brought into the house for combustion, negative pressure
(outside pressure is greater than inside pressure) will build
to the point that a downdraft can occur in the furnace vent
pipe or chimney. As a result, combustion gases enter the living space creating a potentially dangerous situation.
In the absence of local codes concerning air for combustion and ventilation, use the guidelines and procedures in
this section to install SL280DFV furnaces to ensure efficient and safe operation. You must consider combustion air
needs and requirements for exhaust vents. A portion of this
information has been reprinted with permission from the
National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1). This reprinted material is not the complete and official position of the ANSI on
the referenced subject, which is represented only by the
standard in its entirety.
CAUTION
Do not install the furnace in a corrosive or contaminated atmosphere. Meet all combustion and ventilation air requirements, as well as all local codes.
CAUTION
Insufficient combustion air can cause headaches,
nausea, dizziness or asphyxiation. It will also cause
excess water in the heat exchanger resulting in rusting and premature heat exchanger failure. Excessive
exposure to contaminated combustion air will result
in safety and performance related problems. Avoid
exposure to the following substances in the combustion air supply:
Permanent wave solutions
Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
Chlorine base swimming pool chemicals
Water softening chemicals
De-icing salts or chemicals
Carbon tetrachloride
Halogen type refrigerants
Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
Hydrochloric acid
Cements and glues
Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
Masonry acid washing materials
All gas-fired appliances require air for the combustion process. If sufficient combustion air is not available, the furnace or other appliances will operate inefficiently and unsafely. Enough air must be provided to meet the needs of all
fuel-burning appliances and appliances such as exhaust
fans which force air out of the house. When fireplaces, exhaust fans, or clothes dryers are used at the same time as
the furnace, much more air is necessary to ensure proper
combustion and to prevent a downdraft. Insufficient air
causes incomplete combustion which can result in carbon
monoxide.
In addition to providing combustion air, fresh outdoor air
dilutes contaminants in the indoor air. These contaminants may include bleaches, adhesives, detergents, solvents and other contaminants which can corrode furnace
components.
The requirements for providing air for combustion and ventilation depend largely on whether the furnace is installed in
an unconfined or a confined space.
Unconfined Space
An unconfined space is an area such as a basement or
large equipment room with a volume greater than 50 cubic
feet (1.42 m
bined input rating of all appliances installed in that space.
This space also includes adjacent rooms which are not
separated by a door. Though an area may appear to be unconfined, it might be necessary to bring in outdoor air for
combustion if the structure does not provide enough air by
infiltration. If the furnace is located in a building of tight
construction with weather stripping and caulking around
the windows and doors, follow the procedures in the air
from outside section.

Page 6
Confined Space
A confined space is an area with a volume less than 50 cubic feet (1.42 m
3
) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the
combined input rating of all appliances installed in that
space. This definition includes furnace closets or small
equipment rooms.
When the furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air
circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the furnace, the return air must be handled by ducts
which are sealed to the furnace casing and which terminate
outside the space containing the furnace. This is especially
important when the furnace is mounted on a platform in a
confined space such as a closet or small equipment room.
Even a small leak around the base of the unit at the platform
or at the return air duct connection can cause a potentially
dangerous negative pressure condition. Air for combustion
and ventilation can be brought into the confined space either
from inside the building or from outside.

mm) of the top of the enclosure and one opening within 12
inches (305 mm) of the bottom. See figure 2.
Air from Outside
If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventilation, the confined space must have two permanent openings. One opening shall be within 12 inches (305 mm) of the
top of the enclosure and one opening within 12 inches (305
mm) of the bottom. These openings must communicate directly or by ducts with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors or indirectly
through vertical ducts. Each opening shall have a minimum
free area of 1 square inch (645 mm
2
) per 4,000 Btu (1.17
kW) per hour of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure. See figures 3 and 4. When communicating with
the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall
have a minimum free area of 1 square inch (645 mm
2
) per
2,000 Btu (.56 kW) per total input rating of all equipment in
the enclosure. See figure 5.
When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross−sectional area as the free area of the openings to which they
connect. The minimum dimension of rectangular air ducts
shall be no less than 3 inches (75 mm). In calculating free
area, the blocking effect of louvers, grilles, or screens must
be considered. If the design and free area of protective covering is not known for calculating the size opening required,
it may be assumed that wood louvers will have 20 to 25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles will have 60 to
75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles must be fixed in the
open position or interlocked with the equipment so that they
are opened automatically during equipment operation.

WARNING
Improper installation of the furnace can result in personal injury or death. Combustion and flue products
must never be allowed to enter the return air system
or the living space. Use screws and joint tape to seal
the return air system to the furnace.
In platform installations with bottom return air, the
furnace should be sealed airtight to the return air plenum. A door must never be used as a portion of the
return air duct system. The base must provide a
stable support and an airtight seal to the furnace. Allow absolutely no sagging, cracks, gaps, etc.
The return and supply air duct systems must never
be connected to or from other heating devices such
as a fireplace or stove, etc. Fire, explosion, carbon
monoxide poisoning, personal injury and/or property damage could result.
Filters
This unit is not equipped with a filter or rack. A field−provided high−velocity filter is required for the unit to operate
properly. Table 3 lists recommended filter sizes.
A filter must be in place any time the unit is operating.

Duct System
Use industry-approved standards (such as those published by Air Conditioning Contractors of America or American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning
Engineers) to size and install the supply and return air duct
system. This will result in a quiet and low-static system that
has uniform air distribution.
NOTE − Do not operate the furnace in the heating mode
with an external static pressure that exceeds 0.8 inches
w.c. Higher external static pressures may cause erratic limit operation.
Ensure that you have made a seal between the supply air
plenum and the furnace and between the furnace and the
return air plenum.
Return Air Plenum
Return air must not be drawn from a room where this
furnace, or any other gas−fueled appliance (i.e., water
heater), or carbon monoxide−producing device (i.e.,
wood fireplace) is installed. When return air is drawn
from a room, a negative pressure is created in the room. If
a gas appliance is operating in a room with negative pressure, the flue products can be pulled back down the vent
pipe and into the room. This reverse flow of the flue gas
may result in incomplete combustion and the formation
of carbon monoxide gas. This toxic gas might then be distributed throughout the house by the furnace duct system.
Venting
A 4−inch diameter flue transition is factory-installed on all
models. Modifying or removing the flue transition will
cause the unit to operate unsafely and will void the unit
certification. The vent connector does not require insula-
tion.
The SL280DFV series units are classified as fan−assisted
Category I furnaces when vertically vented according to
the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54 /
ANSI Z223.1). A fan−assisted Category I furnace is an appliance equipped with an integral mechanical means to either draw or force combustion products through the combustion chamber and/or heat exchanger.
NOTE − Use these instructions as a guide. They do not supersede local codes. This furnace must be vented according to all local codes, these installation instructions, and the
provided venting tables in these instructions
The venting tables in this manual were extracted from the
National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1) and are
provided as a guide for proper vent installation. Proper application, termination, construction and location of vents
must conform to local codes having jurisdiction. In the absence of local codes, the NFGC serves as the defining document.
Refer to the tables and the venting information contained in
these instructions to properly size and install the venting
system.
IMPORTANT
Once the venting system is installed, attach the Disconnected Vent" warning sticker to a visible area of
the plenum near the vent pipe. The warning sticker
is provided in the bag assembly. Order kit 66W04 for
additional stickers.
WARNING
Asphyxiation hazard. The exhaust vent for this furnace must be securely connected to the furnace flue
transition at all times.

IMPORTANT
SINGLE appliance venting of a fan-assisted furnace
into a tile-lined masonry chimney (interior or outside
wall) is PROHIBITED. The chimney must first be lined
with either type B1 vent or an insulated single wall
flexible vent lining system which has been sized according to the provided venting tables and the vent
pipe manufacturer’s instructions.
A fan−assisted furnace may be commonly vented into an
existing lined masonry chimney if the following conditions
are met:
The chimney is currently serving at least one drafthood
equipped appliance
The vent connectors and chimney are sized according
to the provided venting tables.
If type B1 double-wall vent is used inside a chimney, no other appliance can be vented into the chimney. The outer wall
of type B1 vent pipe must not be exposed to flue products.
A type B1 vent or masonry chimney liner shall terminate
above the roof surface with a listed cap or a listed roof assembly according to the terms of their respective listings
and the vent manufacturer’s instructions.
When inspection reveals that an existing chimney is not
safe for the intended purpose, it shall be rebuilt to conform
to nationally recognized standards, lined or relined with
suitable materials, or replaced with a gas vent or chimney
suitable for venting SL280DFV series units. The chimney
passageway must be checked periodically to ensure that it
is clear and free of obstructions.
Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft regulator,
or flue restrictor between the furnace and the chimney.
Page 13
Never connect a Category I appliance to a chimney that is
servicing a solid−fuel appliance. If a fireplace chimney flue
is used to vent this appliance, the fireplace opening must
be permanently sealed.
A type B or listed chimney lining system that passes
through an unused masonry chimney flue is not considered
to be exposed to the outdoors.
General Venting Requirements
Vent all SL280DFV furnaces according to these instructions:
1 − Vent diameter recommendations and maximum allow-
able piping runs are found in the provided venting
tables.
2 − In no case should the vent or vent connector diameter
be less than the diameter specified in the provided
venting tables.
3 − The minimum vent capacity determined by the sizing
tables must be less than the low fire input rating and the
maximum vent capacity must be greater than the high
fire input rating.
4 − Single appliance vents − If the vertical vent or tile-lined
chimney has a larger diameter or flow area than the
vent connector, use the vertical vent diameter to determine the minimum vent capacity and the vent
connector diameter to determine the maximum vent
capacity. The flow area of the vertical vent, however,
shall not exceed 7 times the flow area of the listed appliance categorized vent area, drafthood outlet area or
flue collar area unless designed according to approved
engineering methods.
5 − Multiple appliance vents − The flow area of the largest
section of vertical vent or chimney shall not exceed 7
times the smallest listed appliance categorized vent
area, drafthood outlet area or flue collar area unless designed according to approved engineering methods.
6 − The entire length of single wall metal vent connector
shall be readily accessible for inspection, cleaning,
and replacement.
7 − Single appliance venting configurations with zero lat-
eral lengths (tables 5 and 6) are assumed to have no
elbows in the vent system. For all other vent configurations, the vent system is assumed to have two 90° elbows. For each additional 90° elbow or equivalent (for
example two 45° elbows equal one 90° elbow) beyond
two, the maximum capacity listed in the venting table
should be reduced by 10% (0.90 x maximum listed capacity).
8 − The common venting tables (7, 8, 9, and 10) were gen-
erated using a maximum horizontal vent connector
length of 1−1/2 feet (.46 m) for each inch (25 mm) of
connector diameter as follows:
TABLE 4

6 (152)9 (2.74)
7 (178)10−1/2 (3.20)
Maximum Horizontal
Connector Length feet (m)
9 − If the common vertical vent is offset, the maximum
common vent capacity listed in the common venting
tables should be reduced by 20%, the equivalent of two
90° elbows (0.80 x maximum common vent capacity).
The horizontal length of the offset shall not exceed
1-1/2 feet (.46 m) for each inch (25 mm) of common
vent diameter.
10 − The vent pipe should be as short as possible with the
least number of elbows and angles required to complete the job. Route the vent connector to the vent using the shortest possible route.
11 − A vent connector shall be supported without any dips
or sags and shall slope a minimum of 1/4 inch (6.4 mm)
per linear foot (305 mm) of connector, back toward the
appliance.
12 − Vent connectors shall be firmly attached to the furnace
flue collar by self−drilling screws or other approved
means, except vent connectors of listed type B vent
material which shall be assembled according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. Joints between sections
of single wall connector piping shall be fastened by
screws or other approved means.
13 − When the vent connector used for Category I ap-
pliances must be located in or pass through a crawlspace or other areas which may be cold, that portion of
the vent connector shall be constructed of listed
double-wall type B vent material or material having
equivalent insulation qualities.
14 − All venting pipe passing through floors, walls, and ceil-
ings must be installed with the listed clearance to combustible materials and be fire stopped according to local codes. In absence of local codes, refer to NFGC
(Z223.1).
15 − No portion of the venting system can extend into, or pass
through any circulation air duct or plenum.
16 − Vent connectors serving Category I appliances shall
not be connected to any portion of mechanical draft
systems operating under positive pressure such as
Category III or IV venting systems.
17 − If vent connectors are combined prior to entering the
common vent, the maximum common vent capacity
listed in the common venting tables must be reduced by
10%, the equivalent of one 90° elbow (0.90 x maximum
common vent capacity).
Page 14
18 − The common vent diameter must always be at least as
large as the largest vent connector diameter.
19 − In no case, shall the vent connector be sized more than
two consecutive table size diameters over the size of
the draft hood outlet or flue collar outlet.
20 − Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft regu-
lator or flue restrictor between the furnace and the
21 − When connecting this appliance to an existing dedi-
cated or common venting system, you must inspect the
venting system’s general condition and look for signs
of corrosion. The existing vent pipe size must conform
to these instructions and the provided venting tables. If
the existing venting system does not meet these requirements, it must be resized.

Removal of the Furnace from Common Vent
In the event that an existing furnace is removed from a
venting system commonly run with separate gas appliances, the venting system is likely to be too large to
properly vent the remaining attached appliances.
Conduct the following test while each appliance is operating and the other appliances (which are not operating) remain connected to the common venting system. If the
venting system has been installed improperly, you must
correct the system as indicated in the general venting requirements section.
7 − If a venting problem is found during any of the preced-
ing tests, the common venting system must be modified to correct the problem.
Resize the common venting system to the minimum
vent pipe size determined by using the appropriate
tables in Appendix G. (These are in the current standards of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.

WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each
appliance connected to the venting system being
placed into operation could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
The following steps shall be followed for each appliance connected to the venting system being
placed into operation, while all other appliances
connected to the venting system are not in
operation:
1 − Seal any unused openings in the common venting sys-
tem.
2 − Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal
pitch. Determine that there is no blockage, restriction,
leakage, corrosion, or other deficiencies which could
cause an unsafe condition.
3 − Close all building doors and windows and all doors be-
tween the space in which the appliances remaining
connected to the common venting system are located
and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not connected to the common
venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as
range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
4 − Follow the lighting instructions. Turn on the appliance
that is being inspected. Adjust the thermostat so that
the appliance operates continuously.
5 − After the main burner has operated for 5 minutes, test
for leaks of flue gases at the draft hood relief opening.
Use the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a
cigarette, cigar, or pipe.
6 − After determining that each appliance connected to the
common venting system is venting properly, (step 3)
return all doors, widows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers, and any other gas−burning appliances to their previous mode of operation.
CAUTION
If a flexible gas connector is required or allowed by
the authority that has jurisdiction, black iron pipe
shall be installed at the gas valve and extend outside
the furnace cabinet. The flexible connector can then
be added between the black iron pipe and the gas
supply line.
Gas Supply
1 − This unit is shipped standard for left or right side instal-
lation of gas piping. Connect the gas supply to the piping assembly.
2 − When connecting the gas supply piping, consider fac-
tors such as length of run, number of fittings, and furnace rating to avoid excessive pressure drop. Table 11
lists recommended pipe sizes for typical applications.
3 − The gas piping must not run in or through air ducts,
clothes chutes, gas vents or chimneys, dumb waiters,
or elevator shafts.
4 − The piping should be sloped 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) per 15
feet (4.57 m) upward toward the meter from the furnace. The piping must be supported at proper intervals
[every 8 to 10 feet (2.44 to 3.01 m)] with suitable hangers or straps. Install a drip leg inside vertical pipe runs
to the unit.
5 − A 1/8" N.P.T. plugged tap or pressure post is located
on the gas valve to facilitate test gauge connection.
See figures 26 and 27.
6 − In some localities, codes may require the installation of
a manual main shut-off valve and union (furnished by
the installer) external to the unit. The union must be of
the ground joint type.
IMPORTANT
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping
must be resistant to the actions of liquified petroleum gases.

Leak Check
After gas piping is completed, carefully check all piping
connections (factory− and field−installed) for gas leaks. Use
a leak detecting solution or other preferred means.
NOTE − If emergency shutoff is necessary, shut off the main
manual gas valve and disconnect the main power to the
furnace. The installer should properly label these devices.
CAUTION
Some soaps used for leak detection are corrosive to
certain metals. Carefully rinse piping thoroughly after leak test has been completed. Do not use
matches, candles, flame or other sources of ignition
to check for gas leaks.

Thermostat Selection
CAUTION
Field wiring for both communicating and non−communicating applications is illustrated in diagrams,
which begin on Page 23.
Non−Communicating
In non−communicating applications the SL280DFV is designed to operate in a SINGLE−STAGE mode or TWO−
STAGE mode using a conventional thermostat.
For optimal performance in non−communicating applications, Lennox recommends use of a ComfortSense
high quality electronic digital thermostat or any other with
adjustable settings for 1st stage / 2nd stage on / off differentials and adjustable stage timers.
Lennox recommends the following two−stage thermostat
settings:
First heat stage differential set to 1/2 to 1 degree F; second
heat stage differential set to 1/2 or 1 degree F; second heat
stage upstage timer disabled, or set to maximum (1 hr minimum).
Communicating
In communicating applications the icomfort Touch® thermostat must be used. Refer to the instructions provided
with the thermostat for installation, set−up and operation. In
communicating system all unused thermostat wire in the
wire bundle needs to be terminated inside and out. The extra wires can terminate on the ’C" terminal of the icomfort
communication terminal strip. (RSBus). Using an additional wire come off "C" terminal and wire nut all the extra wires
together. Termination on the outdoor control must match
the indoor control.
Indoor Blower Speeds
Non−Communicating
1 − When the thermostat is set to FAN ON," the indoor
blower will run continuously at a field selectable percentage of the second−stage cooling speed when there
is no cooling or heating demand. The factory default
setting is 38% of cool speed.
2 − When the SL280DFV is running in the heating mode,
the indoor blower will run on the heating speed designated by the positions of DIP switches 11, 12 and 13.
First stage heating will run at 91% heat speed.
3 − When there is a cooling demand, the indoor blower will
run on the cooling speed designated by the positions
of DIP switches 5 and 6. First stage cooling will run at
70% cool speed.

Integrated Control DIP Switch Settings −
Conventional Thermostat (non−communicating)
SL280DFV units are equipped with a two−stage, variable
speed integrated control. This control manages ignition
timing, heating mode fan off delays and indoor blower
speeds based on selections made using the control dip
switches and jumpers. The control includes an internal
watchguard feature which automatically resets the ignition
control when it has been locked out. After one hour of continuous thermostat demand for heat, the watchguard will
break and remake thermostat demand to the furnace and
automatically reset the control to relight the furnace.
Note: All icomfortt settings are set at the icomfort Touch
thermostat. See icomfortt installation instruction. In icomfortt communication system all DIP switch and clippable
link settings are ignored. For conventional thermostats proceed with DIP switch and clippable link settings as outlined
in the following.
Heating Operation DIP Switch Settings
Switch 1 −− Thermostat Selection −− This unit may be used
with either a single−stage or two−stage thermostat. The
thermostat selection is made using a DIP switch which
must be properly positioned for the particular application.
The DIP switch is factory−positioned for use with a two−
stage thermostat. If a single−stage thermostat is to be used,
the DIP switch must be repositioned.
Select OFF" for two−stage heating operation con-
trolled by a two−stage heating thermostat (factory setting);
b − Select ON" for two−stage heating operation con-
trolled by a single−stage heating thermostat. This setting provides a timed delay before second−stage heat
is initiated.
Switch 2 −− Second Stage Delay (Used with Single−
Stage Thermostat Only) −− This switch is used to deter-
mine the second stage on delay when a single−stage thermostat is being used. The switch is factory−set in the OFF
position, which provides a 7−minute delay before second−
stage heat is initiated. If the switch is toggled to the ON
position, it will provide a 12−minute delay before second−
stage heat is initiated. This switch is only activated when
the thermostat selector jumper is positioned for SINGLE−
stage thermostat use.
Switches 3 and 4 −− Blower−Off Delay −− The blower−on
delay of 30 seconds is not adjustable. The blower−off delay
(time that the blower operates after the heating demand
has been satisfied) can be adjusted by moving switches 3
and 4 on the integrated control. The unit is shipped from the
factory with a blower−off delay of 90 seconds. The blower
off delay affects comfort and is adjustable to satisfy individual applications. Adjust the blower off delay to achieve a
supply air temperature between 90° and 110°F at the exact
moment that the blower is de−energized. Longer off delay
settings provide lower supply air temperatures; shorter settings provide higher supply air temperatures.Table 14 provides the blower off timings that will result from different
switch settings.

Indoor Blower Operation DIP Switch Settings
Switches 5 and 6 −− Cooling Mode Blower Speed −− The
unit is shipped from the factory with the dip switches positioned for high speed (4) indoor blower motor operation
during the cooling mode. Table 15 provides the cooling
mode blower speeds that will result from different switch
settings. Switches 5 and 6 set the blower cfm for second−
stage cool. The integrated control automatically ramps
down to 70% of the second−stage cfm for first−stage cfm.
Refer to tables for corresponding cfm values.
Switches 7 and 8 −− Cooling Blower Speed Adjustment
−− The unit is shipped from the factory with the dip switches
positioned for NORMAL (no) adjustment. The dip switches
may be positioned to adjust the blower speed by +10% or
−10% to better suit the application. Table 16 below provides
blower speed adjustments that will result from different
switch settings. Refer to tables for corresponding cfm values.
Switches 9 and 10 −− Cooling Mode Blower Speed
Ramping −− Blower speed ramping may be used to en-
hance dehumidification performance. The switches are
factory set at option A which has the greatest effect on de−
humidification performance. Table 17 provides the cooling
mode blower speed ramping options that will result from
different switch settings. The cooling mode blower speed
ramping options are detailed on the next page.

On−Board Links
Note: In icomfortt systems with a conventional outdoor
unit (non−communicating), the on−board clippable links
must be set to properly configure the system
WARNING
Carefully review all configuration information provided. Failure to properly set DIP switches, jumpers
and on−board links can result in improper operation!
On−Board Link W914 Dehum or Harmony (R to DS)
On−board link W914, is a clippable connection between terminals R and DS on the integrated control. W914 must be
cut when the furnace is installed with either the Harmony
III zone control or a thermostat which features humidity
control. If the link is left intact the PMW signal from the Harmony III control will be blocked and also lead to control
damage. Refer to table 20 for operation sequence in applications including SL280DFV, a thermostat which features humidity control and a single−speed outdoor unit.
Table 21 gives the operation sequence in applications with
a two−speed outdoor unit.
On−Board Link W951 Heat Pump (R to O)
On−board link W951 is a clippable connection between terminals R and O on the integrated control. W951 must be cut
when the furnace is installed in applications which include a
heat pump unit and a thermostat which features dual fuel
use. If the link is left intact, terminal O" will remain energized eliminating the HEAT MODE in the heat pump.
On−Board Link W915 2 Stage Compr (Y1 to Y2)
On−board link W915 is a clippable connection between ter-
minals Y1 and Y2 on the integrated control. W915 must be
cut if two−stage cooling will be used. If the Y1 to Y2 link is
not cut the outdoor unit will operate in second−stage cooling
only.

WARNING
During blower operation, the ECM motor emits energy that may interfere with pacemaker operation. Interference is reduced by both the sheet metal cabinet
and distance.
BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for
gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is
heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
The gas valve on the SL280DFV unit will be equipped with
either a gas control switch. Use only your hand to move the
control switch. Never use tools. If the switch will not turn or if
the switch will not move by hand, do not try to repair it.
Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
Placing the furnace into operation:
SL280DFV units are equipped with an automatic ignition
system. Do not attempt to manually light burners on these
furnaces. Each time the thermostat calls for heat, the
burners will automatically light. The ignitor does not get
hot when there is no call for heat on units with an automatic
ignition system.
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire
or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.

4 − Move switch on gas valve to OF. Do not force. See fig-
ure 26 or 27.
5 − Replace the upper access panel.
Failure To Operate
If the unit fails to operate, check the following:
1 − Is the thermostat calling for heat?
2 − Are access panels securely in place?
3 − Is the main disconnect switch closed?
4 − Is there a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker?
5 − Is the filter dirty or plugged? Dirty or plugged filters will
cause the limit control to shut the unit off.
6 − Is gas turned on at the meter?
7 − Is the manual main shut-off valve open?
8 − Is the internal manual shut-off valve open?
9 − Is the unit ignition system in lock out? If the unit locks out
again, call the service technician to inspect the unit for
blockages.
10 −Is pressure switch closed? Obstructed flue will cause
unit to shut off at pressure switch. Check flue and outlet
for blockages.
11 −Is the rollout switch tripped? If the switch is tripped call
the service technician to inspect the unit.
Gas Pressure Adjustment
Gas Flow (Approximate)
Furnace should operate at least 5 minutes before checking gas flow. Determine time in seconds for two revolutions of gas through the meter. (Two revolutions assures a
more accurate time.) Divide by two and compare to time
in table 22 below. If manifold pressure matches table 24
and rate is incorrect, check gas orifices for proper size and
restriction. Remove temporary gas meter if installed.
NOTE − Shut unit off and remove manometer as soon as an
accurate reading has been obtained. Take care to replace
pressure tap plug.

Supply Line Pressure
White Rodgers Gas Valve
An inlet post located on the gas valve provides access to
the supply pressure. See figure 27. Back out the 3/32 hex
screw one turn, connect a piece of 5/16 tubing and connect
to a manometer to measure supply pressure. See table 24
for supply line pressure.
Honeywell Gas Valve
A threaded plug on the inlet side of the gas valve provides
access to the supply pressure tap. Remove the threaded
plug, install a field−provided barbed fitting and connect a
manometer to measure supply pressure. See table 24 for
supply line pressure. Replace the threaded plug after measurements have been taken.
Manifold Pressure
NOTE − Pressure test adapter kit (10L34) is available from
Lennox to facilitate manifold pressure measurement.
1 − Connect test gauge to manifold pressure post (figure
26) or tap (figure 27) on gas valve.
2 − Ignite unit on high fire and let run for 5 minutes to allow
for steady state conditions.
3 − After allowing unit to stabilize for 5 minutes, record
manifold pressure and compare to value given in table
24.
4 − If necessary, make adjustments. Figures 26 and 27
show location of high fire adjustment screw.
5 − If an adjustment is made on high fire, re−check man-
ifold pressure on low fire. Do not adjust low fire man-ifold pressure. If low fire manifold pressure is more
than 1/2" above or below value specified in table 24,
replace valve.
Proper Combustion
Furnace should operate minimum 15 minutes with correct
manifold pressure and gas flow rate before checking combustion. Table 23 shows acceptable combustion for ALL
SL280DFV models.

Other Unit Adjustments
Primary and Secondary Limits
The primary limit is located on the heating compartment
vestibule panel. The secondary limits (if equipped) are located in the blower compartment, attached to the back side
of the blower. These limits are factory set and require no
adjustment.
Flame Rollout Switch
This manually reset switch is located on the burner box. If
tripped, check for adequate combustion air before resetting.
Pressure Switches
The pressure switch assembly (includes two switches) is
located in the heating compartment adjacent to the combustion air inducer. These switches check for proper combustion air inducer operation before allowing ignition trial.
The switches are factory−set and require no adjustment.
Temperature Rise
Place the unit into operation with a second−stage heating demand. After supply and return air temperatures have stabilized, check the temperature rise. If necessary, adjust the
heating blower speed to maintain the temperature rise within
the range shown on the unit nameplate. Increase the blower
speed to decrease the temperature rise. Decrease the blower speed to increase the temperature rise. Failure to properly
adjust the temperature rise may cause erratic limit operation
and may result in premature heat exchanger failure.
Thermostat Heat Anticipation
Set the heat anticipator setting (if adjustable) according to
the amp draw listed on the wiring diagram that is attached
to the unit.
Heating Sequence of Operation
Electronic Ignition
The two−stage, variable speed integrated control used in
SL280DFV units has an added feature of an internal Watchguard control. The feature serves as an automatic reset device for ignition control lockout caused by ignition failure.
This type of lockout is usually due to low gas line pressure.
After one hour of continuous thermostat demand for heat,
the Watchguard will break and remake thermostat demand
to the furnace and automatically reset the control to begin
the ignition sequence.
NOTE − The integrated control thermostat selection DIP switch
is factory−set in the TWO−STAGE" position.
Applications Using a Two−Stage Thermostat
See figure 28 for ignition control sequence
A − Heating Sequence −− Integrated Control Thermostat
Selection DIP Switch 1 OFF in Two−Stage" Position
(Factory Setting)
1 − On a call for heat, thermostat first−stage contacts close
sending a signal to the integrated control. The integrated control runs a self-diagnostic program and
checks high temperature limit switches for normally
closed contacts and pressure switches for normally
open contacts. The combustion air inducer is energized at low speed.
2 − Once the control receives a signal that the low pres-
sure switch has closed, the combustion air inducer begins a 15−second pre−purge in low speed.
NOTE − If the low fire pressure switch does not close
the combustion air inducer will switch to high fire. After
a 15 second pre−purge the high fire pressure switch
will close and the unit will begin operation on high fire.
After 10 to 20 seconds of high fire operation the unit
will switch to low fire..
3 − After the pre−purge is complete, a 20−second initial ig-
nitor warm−up period begins. The combustion air inducer continues to operate at low speed.
4 − After the 20−second warm−up period has ended, the gas
valve is energized on low fire (first stage) and ignition occurs. At the same time, the control module sends a signal to begin an indoor blower 30−second ON−delay.
When the delay ends, the indoor blower motor is energized on the low fire heating speed, the HUM contacts
close energizing the humidifier and 120V ACC terminal is energized. The furnace will continue this operation as long as the thermostat has a first−stage heating
demand.
5 − If second−stage heat is required, the thermostat sec-
ond−stage heat contacts close and send a signal to the
integrated control. The integrated control initiates a
30−second second−stage recognition delay.
6 − At the end of the recognition delay, the integrated con-
trol energizes the combustion air inducer at high
speed. The control also checks the high fire (second
stage) pressure switch to make sure it is closed. The
high fire (second stage) gas valve is energized and the
indoor blower motor is energized for operation at the
high fire heating speed.
7 − When the demand for high fire (second stage) heat is
satisfied, the combustion air inducer is switched to the
low−fire heating speed and the high−fire (second
stage) gas valve is de−energized. The low−fire (first
stage) gas valve continues operation. The indoor
blower motor is switched to the low−fire heating speed.
8 − When the thermostat demand for low−fire (first stage)
heat is satisfied, the gas valve is de−energized and the
field−selected indoor blower off delay begins. The
combustion air inducer begins a 5−second post−purge
period.
9 − When the combustion air post−purge period is com-
plete, the inducer, the HUM contacts as well as the
120V ACC terminals are de−energized. The indoor
blower is de−energized at the end of the off delay.

NOTE − In these applications, two−stage heat will be initiated by the integrated control if heating demand has not
been satisfied after the field adjustable period (7 or 12 minutes).
1 − On a call for heat, thermostat first−stage contacts close
sending a signal to the integrated control. The integrated control runs a self-diagnostic program and
checks high temperature limit switches for normally
closed contacts and pressure switches for normally
open contacts. The combustion air inducer is energized at low speed.
2 − Once the control receives a signal that the low pres-
sure switch has closed, the combustion air inducer begins a 15−second pre−purge in low speed.
NOTE − If the low fire pressure switch does not close
the combustion air inducer will switch to high fire. After
a 15 second pre−purge the high fire pressure switch
will close and the unit will begin operation on high fire.
After 10 to 20 seconds of high fire operation the unit
will switch to low fire.
3 − After the pre−purge is complete, a 20−second initial ig-
nitor warm−up period begins. The combustion air inducer continues to operate at low speed.
4 − After the 20−second warm−up period has ended, the gas
valve is energized on low fire (first stage) and ignition occurs. At the same time, the control module sends a signal to begin an indoor blower 30−second ON−delay.
When the delay ends, the indoor blower motor is energized on the low fire heating speed and the HUM contacts are energized. The integrated control also initiates a second−stage on delay (factory−set at 7
minutes; adjustable to 12 minutes).
5 − If the heating demand continues beyond the second−
stage on delay, the integrated control energizes the
combustion air inducer at high speed. The control also
checks the high fire (second stage) pressure switch to
make sure it is closed. The high fire (second stage)
gas valve is energized and the indoor blower motor is
energized for operation at the high fire heating speed.
6 − When the thermostat heating demand is satisfied, the
combustion air inducer begins a 5−second low speed
post−purge. The field−selected indoor blower off delay
begins. The indoor blower operates at the low−fire
heating speed.
7 − When the combustion air post−purge period is com-
plete, the inducer, the HUM contacts as well as the
120V ACC terminals are de−energized. The indoor
blower is de−energized at the end of the off delay.

Planned Service
The following items should be checked during an annual inspection. Power to the unit must be shut off for the service technician’s safety.
Fresh air grilles and louvers (on the unit and in the room
where the furnace is installed) − Must be open and unobstructed to provide combustion air.
Operating performance − Unit must be observed during
operation to monitor proper performance of the unit and the
vent system.
Burners − Must be inspected for rust, dirt, or signs of water.
Vent pipe − Must be inspected for signs of water, damaged
or sagging pipe, or disconnected joints.
Unit appearance − Must be inspected for rust, dirt, signs
of water, burnt or damaged wires, or components.
Blower access door − Must be properly in place and provide a seal between the return air and the room where the
furnace is installed.
Return air duct − Must be properly attached and provide
an air seal to the unit.
Combustion gases − Flue products must be analyzed and
compared to the unit specifications.
Problems detected during the inspection may make it necessary to temporarily shut down the furnace until the items
can be repaired or replaced.
Instruct the homeowners to pay attention to their
furnace. Situations can arise between annual furnace in-
spections that may result in unsafe operation. For instance,
items innocently stored next to the furnace may obstruct
the combustion air supply. This could cause incomplete
combustion and the production of carbon monoxide gas.
